So this might sound dumb, but I am looking for some small plastic storage boxes, roughly 4" long, 2" wide by about 3/4" to 1" deep. Basically, looking to insert foam cut to hold a tap and its corresponding drill bit.

Danged if I can find any place that has such a critter that doesn't require a 500 piece minimum order. I just need 3.

Anyone know where I might find them off the top of their head?

Not exactly what you describe, but I use toothbrush/toothpaste cases like these;

and these;

ROSENICE Travel Toothbrush Case Holder Toothpaste Storage Box (Orange): Amazon.com.au: Home

to store large drills and some other tools.

I also use this kind of tube for storage of small reamers,drills & taps;

10Pcs Plastic Transparent Clear Test Tube Sample Containers With Cap 12*100MM AU | eBay

I buy the longest I can find; they are easily parted-off to shorten them if required.

Two taped together could be used for your tap & drill storage.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, and I don't have a pix, but in my shop, I have small wooden holders I made that hold the tap drill and a taper, chamfer and bottom tap in every size from #4 to 5/8". Wherever you're doing a job you merely take the little wooden holder to the location and you have everything you need.

The wooden holders are marked with the tap size and are on a shelf, easy to see and ready to grab. All sizes are there, NC and NF as well as pipe taps.

We use these at work for all kinds of things, cheap enough even if they come in lots of 50 or 100

We use these style of boxes to build job kits that use non-standard tooling (for us).

edit: linky to Zoro, but you can find them at Walmart, Lowes, etc...
